      Make sure your username/pass are correct and your port is correct.

      The email tab is going to be removed in the next version of countryblock. The package is stable therefore no email is needed.

        Good to hear it is stable enough to remove that feature.

        Thanks

          So when will the next version of Country Block be out. We won't hold you to it, just a guess-ta-ment!

          Thanks!

            I'd imagine around the same time that the new IP-Blocklist package is released. (1-5 months). The time frame is based around my work/life schedule and available funds.

            More realistically probably in the next two months. :)

              Getting this error when reloading the CountryBlock Package.  How can I correct.  Uninstalled and re-installed package and getting same error.  PFsense Rc3 August 24th version.

              Current Status = NOT running
              /tmp/rules.debug:270: cannot load "/usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists/ipfw.ipfw": No such file or directory
              You are blocking 0 Networks

              Thanks

                The file will be hosted on github shortly. This will be reflected in the next package update.

                  Hello, I was running PFsense 1.2.0, I upgraded to 1.2.3, installed snort, then the following day I installed Country Block and it all appeared OK except that after selecting countries, commit, then enable/save - it shows its running but blocking 0 networks. Then I noticed that there is no service showing for Country Block (running or not running). Also when I install it, the system log shows as the last entry, php: /pkg_mgr_install.php: Beginning package installation for Country Block.  I see no completion message, no service start message even though its listed as running (even though there is no service).  It seems like it never really installed?  I really appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

                    CountyBlock doesn't run as a service. It sounds like you committed your countries but the "Enable countryblock" check box isn't checked on the main page of the package.

                      I read the posts after I had trouble. I uninstalled it and deleted the log file, reinstalled, rebooted, I then selected 2 countries, clicked commit countries - It replies that my settings have been saved, "currently 2 of 252 selected". And at the bottom it shows Current status = NOT running.  I then select the "Enable Country Block" box at the top and click save at the bottom. It then shows Current status = running, You are blocking 0 networks. In that same screen, my countries are still selected and it still shows "currently 2 of 252 selected". If I'm dong something wrong, I don't see it. phl

                            Okay. Try to uninstall and re-install one more time. I think there was something going on with the server's gateway.

                                Sorry that it took so long to get installed. Just so everyone knows this issue will be fixed very soon. This won't be a problem any longer.

                                      I had an OOPS this AM. ;D ;D
                                      I was updating my country block, and inadvertently selected all.  It worked perfectly.  Unfortunately, we couldn't get to google, or email.  Took me  a few minutes to get it right.

                                          I can not start it on latest PFSense.

                                          Get:

                                          Current Stauts = NOT running
                                          pfctl: DICSETSTATUSIF
                                          You are blocking 0 Networks

                                          On an other PFSense engine with same release it worked well without problems - but on this firewall I get this error and don't know why.

                                          Already tried: Steps on FAQ and reinstall.

                                          As long as I did not click on "enable" the error is not shown. I can change all settings, but when I am ready and click on Enable it will not work and report these error.

                                            That's a first for me. I will have to do some investigation. What have you done to try and fix the error?
